  • Usually projects on github. Personally I use Appimages for things like Mypaint a digital drawing application, krita and most other KDE applications as to avoid all the dependency's KDE has in its eco system or at least to put them somewhere easier to manage

  • Its a massive industry problem where code is so much more heavier where devs are reliant on brut hardware force rather than refining code to be light.

    Not boomer sentiment at all

    What's an elegant way of automatically backing up the contents of a large drive to multiple smaller drives that add up to the capacity of the large drive?
  • You'll have ask the question of how important is this data, then before you start run drive diagnostic tool to see if all are functioning as expected, I'd suggest moving directories aposed to chopping anything up as to maintain some form of redundancy if a drive were to fail. It'll be a long process. Hope it goes well

    Resync is a handy tool

    Is this something regulators and Facebook will address or will fb slide through the cracks?
